Motherboard screws

So, I was changing over my case to a new one, and as I started to remove my mobo from my old case I discovered an incredibly annoying little issue. A screw from a non-thermal paste heat-sink on my motherboard (MSI Z87-G43) has gone missing leaving this heatsink half hanging off my board, but not enough to notice without a good inspection........... Lets hope its done no damage. 

 

 

Anyway, I'm now curious, how often do you guys tighten your motherboard screws or do you not even check them?

The motherboard in my server has a missing screw, and it's not causing issues so I'm not worried about it.
